Motivation means energizing a person to do the work that may be physically or psychologically demanding. Before that, we need recognition of employees. Physical factors can energize a person for a certain period of time, but psychological factors help to identify employees' interior problems and find solutions for them.

Dear Mr Arora,
A true professional likes to do a job well. The reward is in the aim achieved. His/her motivations, correctly speaking should be 'Job Satisfaction', acknowledgement and appreciation by superiors and admiration by peers. Such a scenario automatically leads to career progression as well as monetary benefits. A rise in self esteem will also result in higher motivation levels.
That is how it should be. But to each his own. There will be individuals who may have very different parameters for staying motivated. It would not be appropriate to discuss/list such factors.
I hope I have been able to answer your query.
Warm regards.
Aye.

When I was studying Marketing and Management, my professor of marketing used to say, "THERE ARE TWO MOTIVATING FACTORS TO HUMANS. ONE IS GREED AND ANOTHER IS FEAR." During my tenure as a marketing manager for 25 years, I observed this to be true, and I also used this to successfully motivate my subordinates.

[QUOTE=Mr. India;1757961]Hmm, thanks Mr. Shah. So, what will you use for HR professionals/Managers? What motivates them? It is accepted that employees need motivation, as many people and Mr. Arora have said. But the question is, why do managers feel that motivation for employees is required and when?
Dear Mr. India,
There are no ready-made answers to real-life situations. Take it for granted that no single answer will work. Every time, the situation is different, and the person is different. You cannot group all people together. What I have told you is about the basic factors of motivating humans, irrespective of their role in HR, Accounting, Management, or Marketing. How and when to use it will differ from person to person and situation to situation. One has to use his/her brain every time.
I hope this clarification is sufficient for all the readers here.

Hi members,
Here is an article that will truly keep a true HR Manager highly motivated.
The article is really worth it. People management is not only a skill today; it's an art to win people.
Here I'm posting an incident by one of the gyan gurus in TOI - Titled, "They Said Little - Yet Much".
"Once Mother Teresa was invited as the chief guest at a conference of 500 personnel managers, and she was allotted 30 mins to speak as per the program. She complained to the president of the conference, saying, 'How much time does one require to speak? Perhaps 2-3 mins.' After her introduction of about 15 mins, Mother Teresa got up to speak, 'I have not done any courses on personnel management,' she said. 'In fact, all of you here will know far more on this subject than I do. But I just want to ask you two questions. The first, 'Do you know your people (employees)?' 'Really know them, not just superficially?' she said. With a long pause, there was a second question, 'Do you love them, do you really have concern for them?'
With these two questions, she ended her speech, giving profound lessons of HR to the HR community.
All that keeps every organization going with their business is embedded in the words said above.
Thanks to gyan gurus for sharing such good incidents.
Thanks,

Dear Sanjeev,
Let me take this opportunity to state that members may not be able to answer your question in an open forum with any honesty.
I have gone through the responses and find that only two or three have answered your question, and the others have drifted away.
I think it would have been better had you said what motivates you to keep on doing your good work and then asked others' views. Also, it would have been better had you clearly stated what you would do with the responses.
As a non-HR person who has changed jobs during my working life, I would state that what motivated me varied as my circumstances changed. Hence, without knowing the personal circumstances of respondents, the answers gained would be meaningless. Have you noticed that it's the company directors who get a greater percentage increase in pay and benefits than the workers? And it's the same directors and managers who say that people should be motivated by other considerations than money.
Have a nice day.
